Your carrier is the company that provides cellular service to your iPhone. This is the company that bills you for cellular service.

If you have a carrier locked iPhone and are attempting to find out who the carrier is then:

  1. Open Settings ➡️ General ➡️ About ➡️ Carrier Lock: Here, the carrier should be listed if your iPhone is Locked to a carrier. OR
  2. See whether the iPhone has an installed SIM card. Identify the carrier on that SIM card and then contact the carrier to verify. OR
  3. Please contact 👉 Apple Support and see whether Apple Support can help identify the carrier that the iPhone is locked to.
